Product Description
1. Mechanism of Action (MOA)
Tripeptide-32 is a biomimetic peptide specifically designed to enhance the skin's innate adaptive response to environmental stressors. Its mechanism is inspired by the body's natural cellular defense systems.
- Activation of Cytoprotective Pathways: Functions by upregulating the expression of protective Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs).
- Key Regulator: Modulates the activity of Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1), the primary transcription factor for the heat shock response.
- Cellular Defense Enhancement: Helps cells withstand and recover from damage caused by UV Radiation, Blue Light (HEV), Oxidative Stress, Pollution, and Thermal Stress.
- Overall Effect: Strengthens cellular resilience, reduces oxidative damage, inhibits inflammation, and prevents premature aging.
2. In-Vitro Efficacy Data
Model: Human epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts.
- HSF1 Activation: Demonstrated significant increase in activation.
- Heat Shock Protein Expression: Dose-dependent increase in HSP70 expression (over 2.5-fold).
- Protection against Oxidative Stress: ~40% increase in cell viability after hydrogen peroxide exposure.
- Anti-Inflammatory Effect: Marked reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6) following UV exposure.
